About Lou Gehrig
Gehrig batted .295 with 29 home runs in 1938, his last full season, and at its end he said, "I was tired mid-season. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get going again." His last extra-base hit, a home run, came on September 27, 1938, and all four of his hits in that year's World Series were singles. His 1976 Topps card, #341, belongs to the All-Time All-Stars subset.
Henry Louis Gehrig grew up in New York City, the son of German immigrants, and starred at Columbia University before signing with the New York Yankees in 1923. He spent all 17 of his big-league seasons in pinstripes, nearly every game of them at first base. Sportswriters hung the nickname "the Iron Horse" on him in 1931 for the durability that carried him through 2,130 straight games, a record that stood 56 years until Cal Ripken Jr. passed it in 1995. Gehrig won two American League Most Valuable Player awards and took the 1934 Triple Crown with a .363 average, 49 home runs and 165 runs batted in. He played on six World Series winners and finished at .340 with 493 home runs and 1,995 RBI. An undiagnosed illness, later identified as the disease that now carries his name, pushed him out of the lineup on May 2, 1939; that July 4 he told a packed Yankee Stadium he considered himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Baseball held a special election in 1939, the year he retired, to put him in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He died on June 2, 1941.
